We have had similar thread in the Tiger forum. I guess they have the same injection system but different settings.thread

I also had occasional stalling problems with my '05 Tiger. My Dealerships top mechanic blipped the throttle a few times and listened to the engine's response. He declared the fix to be simple and advised the following:-

From stone cold, start the bike and every 30 seconds blip the throttle (if I remember correctly, it was up to about 5K RPM), continue every 30 seconds until the fan cuts in. Job done! I followed these instructions, and it has not stalled since (4 weeks, 3000 miles).

Apparently, the reasoning is that the engine management was out of calibration with various air related setting. There is a period during warm up (between two engine temperatures that I do not remember) when 3 throttle blips at approx 30 second intervals make the system recalibrate. The routine above gives you a good chance of provoking the re-calibration. When the fan comes on, the engine is then too warm for it to happen.

This is also worth thinking about if you're in the habit of blipping unnecessarily... like you used to have to do with you FS1E 'cos it ran so rough. Modern engines don't need the same sort of coaxing - if you do tend to blip as the bike warms up, you could force a recalibration. If you do it on an extreme morning, the ambient conditions (air temperature, density, atmospheric pressure were all mentioned as factors to me) could upset things.

My bike started fine this morning but after riding for about 5 minutes, it stalled at the first set of lights I came to and would not idle. It seemed to want to idle at about 200RPM, so that when I shut the throttle, it just stopped running (as opposed to stalled). It started and ran fine after this but the motor died if I shut the throttle. I rode straight to my mechanics place and had to wait about 10 minutes until he arrived.

I tried to show him, but the bike started and ran perfectly - of course. He knew exactly the problem. He said that the current 955 ECUs need a few seconds of power to get sorted out. I think they self check and also cycle the idle stepper motors. He said that I had probably turned on the ignition and started the bike immediately that morning. He said this confused the ECU and the bike runs fine but may stall and do other weird things. The answer is to turn off the ignition, turn it back on - wait at least 5 seconds, and restart.

He said that I should ALWAYS turn the ignition on and wait 5 seconds and I should hear a click from under the seat before hitting the starter button. I can't actually hear the click as I have a gel seat and a sheepskin.

THIS WAS TOTALLY NEWS TO ME!!!!!!

He also said that the bike should be stopped with the ignition key and not the kill switch.

There is a similar post of cold start problems that may be due to this as well that I have posted this information on.

Hope this give you some ideas to fix your problem.
